2 of the "builders of soundNest", Justin Miller & ryanSmith, were asked to install their instruments at Fields Fest 2014. The public was invited to walk through, or play upon a feast of handmade instruments. These instruments include: bells, gongs, drums, wind chimes, cymbals, and handmade kalimbas.
At Fields, Ryan & Justin brought a "stripped-down version of soundNest", which they titled "GamaLamaDingDong"
